MARSHFIELD, Mass. -- Authorities have identified the motorcyclist who was killed in a weekend crash in Marshfield while being pursued by police.
The Plymouth County District Attorney's office said Paul Rheaume, of Pembroke, Mass., was thrown from his bike Saturday night after police said he crossed the center line of Route 3A and crashed head-on into a car.
Two people in the car and a police officer were treated for injuries at South Shore Hospital following the incident and released.
A spokeswoman for the district attorney's office said the crash occurred after a short pursuit and that only one cruiser was involved.
Marshfield police said the motorcycle sped away after an officer tried to stop the biker for a motor vehicle violation.

This article makes me think that the motorcyclist thought that if he went faster that he would lose them and not have to pay the consiquences. While he was doing this he was indangering others on the road that he came in contact with not only himself. I think that getting a fine is a decision then loosing your life and indangering others.

The numbers I have choosen are 12 18 34 70 112 130 155 170 222

12 broken radiator hose 18 fire in engine compartment 34 motorcycle 70 happy hour 112 angery 130 fail to see elements of scene 155 gas station enterence 170 school zone 222 skateboarder falls on side of road

A crash could occur with numbers 18 34 70 112 130 155 170 222 because it depends on place and how much your paying attention and what the other person is thinking and doing. Yes they could avoided if you are seeing and alert to yourself and your surroundings.
